Beginning on or about Sept. 30, 2009, shareholders as of the record date of Sept. 18, 2009 in the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds will receive a communication regarding an upcoming proxy vote in which they will be asked to participate. The proxy statement includes two proposals:

  • A proposal to elect a Board of Trustees for each of the Trusts. The nominees for election to the Boards of Trustees are all currently members of the Boards of Trustees.
  • A proposal to approve a new investment management agreement between each Fund and Delaware Management Company in connection with Lincoln National Corporation’s sale of Delaware Investments to Macquarie Group.

The communication will include an overview of the items on which the shareholders are asked to vote as well as the materials to use when voting by mail, telephone, or through the internet. If a certain percentage of shareholder votes have not been received on or about Oct. 10, 2009, a telephone solicitation process by a third party, Computershare Fund Services, Inc., will begin. A meeting of shareholders of the Delaware Investments Funds is scheduled to be held on Nov. 12, 2009.

The proxy statement and a Q&A can be viewed online at www.delawareinvestments.com/proxy.
